As hybridisation and changing grid and market conditions redefine the scope of asset performance management, renewables project services provider E3’s Anouk Hut looks at the growing importance of physics-based modelling and integrated digital infrastructure.

Emerging tech must prove it can outcompete the incumbent, writes Sightline Climate analyst Lukas Karapin-Springorum, outlining the state of play in LDES technology today.

Last summer, a Texas energy storage operator watched in frustration as their battery system missed a golden trading opportunity during a peak demand window.

The government of South Africa has secured nearly 1.7GW/11GWh of grid-scale BESS capacity via various procurement programmes, though questions remain around their integrity and deliverability.

The market share of vertically integrated battery cell and BESS companies has fallen since 2023, market intelligence firm Rho Motion said.

Bahraini, Chinese, Egyptian and Emirati groups have agreed to develop a new manufacturing facility in Egypt.

Hithium will supply two projects in Saudi Arabia with ‘the world’s first mass-produced kiloampere-hour (kAh) cells’.

China continued to drive global grid-scale BESS commissioning activity in July, as the technology approaches the global installed gigawatt (GW) capacity of pumped hydro.

Now is the moment for long-duration energy storage to become a key pillar of the energy transition, writes LDES Council CEO Julia Souder.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.
